Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a good supplier of casting investment, without having to buy 25Kg + and spend the same amount of money on postage as product! I am in Bristol BTW if there are any real shop suggestions!

Thanks in advance for your help. ;)

Hi Craig -

Not a huge amount of help, sorry - I buy mine in 25kg sacks from Walsh's. And yes, the postage is a bugger.

Wonder if whoever Purimachos became would have some suggestions? As you'll probably be aware I've used them a moderate amount for refractory materials in the past.

Craig, I would have thought AlecTiranti might have some investment too, but I cold not access their online catalogue today. Perhaps you can find their phone number and call them.
Kind regards Dennis.
